Boyuan Provides Disclosure Update

TORONTO, Oct. 2, 2015 /CNW/ - Boyuan Construction Group, Inc., (TSX: BOY, BOY.DB.A) (the "Company" or "Boyuan"), a growing construction company in China of commercial, residential and municipal infrastructure projects, announced that, as requested by the Company, it has been granted a Temporary Management Cease Trade Order ("Temporary MCTO") today by the Ontario Securities Commission ("OSC") as a result of its September 23, 2015 announcement that it would be late in filing its audited annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 and related Management's Discussion & Analysis, Annual Information Form and CEO and CFO certification of filings (collectively, the "2015 Filings").

The late filing is due to issues raised by the OSC in their continuous disclosure review of the Company which may require the Company to restate the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2014 and subsequent interim periods and to revise its annual and interim MD&As for the same periods (collectively, the "2014 Filings"). The Company's auditors will not be able to issue an audit opinion on the 2015 annual financial statements until OSC's concerns on the 2014 Filings are addressed to the OSC's satisfaction. Boyuan intends to co-operate with the OSC to resolve any outstanding issues regarding the 2014 Filings and hopes to make the 2015 Filings as soon as possible.

As a result of this delay in filing, the OSC, the principal regulator of the Company, today issued a Temporary MCTO, which imposed restrictions on all trading in and all acquisitions of securities of the Company, whether direct or indirect, by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company for a period of 15 days. The Temporary MCTO will not affect the ability of persons who are not insiders of Boyuan to trade its securities. The OSC has given notice of a hearing to be held on within 15 days of the Temporary MCTO for the purposes of making the Temporary MCTO permanent if the Company has not remedied the default in making the 2015 Filings.

Boyuan intends to satisfy the provisions of the Alternative Information Guidelines as set out in National Policy 12 - 203 for as long as Boyuan remains in default, including the issuance of further by-weekly default status reports, each of which will be issued in the form of a press release. A general cease trade order may be issued if Boyuan fails to file such default status reports on a timely basis.

As long as a general cease trade order is not issued against the Company, the Company expects that the retraction of $5 million of the Company's 10% secured convertible debentures due October 31, 2018 will proceed as scheduled on October 31, 2015.
